#Customer intent: As an SAP BASIS team member, I want to understand the configuration options in the systemconfig.json file so that I can properly set up and manage the data collector for SAP applications.

Microsoft Sentinel solution for SAP applications data connector agent systemconfig.json file reference

The systemconfig.json file is used to configure the behavior of the Microsoft Sentinel for SAP applications data connector agent when deployed from the command line. This article describes the options available in each section of the configuration file.

Content in this article is intended for your SAP BASIS teams, and is only relevant when your data connector agent is deployed from the command line. We recommend deploying your data connector agent from the portal instead.

Overall file structure

The following code shows the overall structure of the systemconfig.json file:

{
